Recently, several strong explosions suddenly came from near the Nord Stream pipeline, and it was an underwater explosion. According to the news from the Swedish monitoring station, one of them reached the magnitude of 2.3 magnitude . The two natural gas pipelines in "North Stream" were damaged one after another and leaked. It is currently the Russian-European energy war, especially the natural gas "supply war". Winter is coming and is already at the most critical moment. These explosions are undoubtedly extremely purposeful and will have serious consequences. Judging from the location of the damaged pipeline at the bottom of the Baltic Sea in and the construction technology of the pipeline itself, it is quite difficult to break it. All signs show that the "North Stream" pipeline was blown up, and it must have been deliberately created by someone. 
Although this requires investigation to find out the answer, and the mainstream Western opinions and public opinion have been trying to bring them to Russia, Sikorsky tweeted with pictures and texts on the second day of the explosion: Thank you, the United States. Perhaps he felt that this was not enough to express his feelings, and he tweeted that the damage to the pipeline of , , , , means that if Russia wants to restore gas supply to Europe next, it must find two other related countries of the natural gas pipeline, namely Poland and Ukraine to negotiate. And use sentence " to get good " as the conclusion.
Sikorsky seemed a little proud. In Russia's view, it was equivalent to an official announcement, indicating that these explosions were terrorist attacks. In fact, there is no need for Sikorsky's tweets. After the explosion, who can think of the first thing people can think of is the United States? The reason for judging an event is to see who can get benefits from it. The greater the benefits, the greater the suspicion of whom is likely to be. What we are talking about here is the motivation.
First of all, from the perspective of motivation, as both the supply and demand sides of natural gas, ensuring natural gas supply is beneficial to Russia and EU , so Russia and Europe do not have this possibility. On the contrary, with the arrival of winter, European countries will inevitably bow to Russia in order to purchase a large amount of natural gas. Germany recently withdraws a batch of tanks from military aid to Ukraine, which shows this problem very well. However, the one who doesn’t want to see such a situation the least is Ukraine, of course the United States. Blowing up the pipe is the best way to break the European thoughts.
At the same time, this also gives up market space for US natural gas exports. Secondly, from the perspective of ability. It is easy to blow up the pipe, but it is not that easy to do it. Such a solid pipeline exploded at such a deep seabed, and ordinary explosives and ordinary countries such as Ukraine did not have the ability to do so. Therefore, from the perspective of ability alone, the United States is also the first choice.
The most lamentable here is " Beixi 2 No. 1 " " illusory fate. Since it was completed and accepted, it was shelved before it was officially put into operation and is now damaged. The high repair costs and long repair period will make its repair a dilemma. Doesn’t this also symbolize a dilemma faced by Russia-EU relations in the future?
